âDesignating Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism would be not only misguided, but cruel,â a Jan. 7 letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and also sent to President-elect Joe Biden reads. âWhile it would not tighten existing sanctions on U.S. businesses in trading with Cuba, it would harm the Cuban people, including the families, communities, and congregations that are our partners.â
Co-signers on the letter include Church World Service, the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA, the United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries and the United Methodist Church General Board of Church and Society.
